Fontainebleau Park West
Homes for newcomers and commuters
Composed mostly of townhouses and condominiums that list for between $200,000 and $525,000, Fontainebleau Park West offers good pricing for first-time homebuyers who don’t want to commute too far to work. “The neighborhood is ideal for individuals, couples or small families looking for two- or three-bedroom units,” Pons says. These often feature balconies or covered terraces for outdoor entertaining, with access to community pools, tennis courts, gyms and playgrounds. Sold less frequently, single-family homes go on the market for between $550,000 to $870,000, most offering two-car garages, beautifully paved drives, Mediterranean tile roofs and 24-hour security. “Not every subdivision has a security guard,” Pons says. “But residents without aren’t concerned. You have numbered parking spots if you live in a townhouse or condo. Outsiders don’t come here unless they’re invited.” According to CAP Index, Fontainebleau Park West’s crime rate is on par with the U.S. average, scoring a 4 out of 10.

Walkable, abundant green spaces
While gated subdivisions of Fontainebleau Park West feature private amenities, the neighborhood is united by a large green space with walking paths that form a circle around the center of the community, what’s left of the former golf course design. In addition, the 15-acre Women’s Park offers a lake and walking paths, a butterfly garden, a children’s playground and a women’s history gallery, which hosts art enrichment programs for all ages. At Ruben Dario Park, residents can play baseball, basketball and tennis. A sand-cushioned playground can be found here, too, and a large open field is often used for soccer games.

Nearby shopping, dining and worship
Fountain Square, within walking distance of the neighborhood, features Publix and Target. Across West Flagler Street, Cajun Boil serves Creole favorites like gumbo and boils. Traditional Venezuelan fare is on the menu at Charles & Larry, and Good Chef Restaurant is known for its Asian dumplings, ramen and bubble tea. The Dolphin Mall and Miami International Mall, which offer nearly 400 retailers and restaurants, are less than 2 miles away. The closest church, Our Lady of Divine Providence, features an annual parish bazaar, men’s and women’s groups, and opportunities to minister to the poor through food pantries and other volunteer work.

Get “lively” at Vivo!
Located near the entrance to the Dolphin Mall, Vivo! is a 62,000-square-foot dining and entertainment space that hosts sports watch parties, live music and social experiences. Here, residents can enjoy the venue’s Margarita Festival, Big Game Bash on Superbowl Sunday or Hot Country Nights with live concerts featuring some of country music’s biggest stars.

STEM-focused schools
The schools that serve the neighborhood include Pinecrest Academy North Campus, a PK-5 charter school that scored a B-plus from Niche. Pinecrest places a strong emphasis on its STEM curriculum and inquiry-based learning model. Ruben Dario Middle, which received a C-plus, is a medical and health sciences magnet school recently named a Merit School of Distinction. Students also attend Miami Coral Park Senior High, a B-minus school offering biomedical and engineering magnet programs.
